Day 27

Morning
After finding a parametric equation plotter on the web, I began work on the welder upgrade. First, I looked at the SLC150 program that David got to me on Monday. I rewrote the program (only 52 rungs) on my own paper and made a flow diagram to see how the program really operates. I was trying to find a drawing or something to tell me what the nodes actually corresponded to on the welder when it came time for the Mecop meeting. Once I found the Zirc conference room in the admin building, we had a nice little pow-wow and then took a tour of Extrusion which I had never seen before.

Afternoon
I came back trying to find something to tell me what all the nodes of the SLC150 corresponded to on the real welder. I found that Jim's filing cabinets have all kinds of drawings, notes, and sketches for all the equipment that came in handy. I found a few drawing numbers and a couple useful sketches. I was tracing the program when I got a call about touring the R&D facility, so I took advantage of that and got to see the old meat-packing plant.
